Pretty Toney Collection Vol.1 - Ghostface Killah

Advantages: Smooth beats, and lyrics from the best lyrical writer in the Wu Tang!
Disadvantages: Old fans of Ghostface won't enjoy the R 'n' B tracks

...but instead will expect the same sort of beats as were on Supreme Clientele. This is why I strongly recommend this album to anyone that has thought of buying Ghostface Killah’s albums who doesn’t previously own any. The bridges on the album are varying. There are a wide range of them ranging from R ‘n’ B ones as we can see in Love session whereas Walking Through The Darkness sees Ghostface mixing old skool style choruses with new skool rapping patterns. This variation really adds flavour to the album because there is so much variation amongst the songs and it also shows that Ghostface is a well-rounded artist and this is probably what he wanted to establish in Supreme Clientele. Supreme Clientele is a well-rounded album. There are some real nice songs that fans of Supreme Clientele will enjoy such as Flowers and then there are some up beats... Read review

Advantages: Hip Hop Legend Lyrics
Disadvantages: Not the old ghostface

...You shouldn't be surprised if your favorite rapper's favorite rapper is Ghostface Killah. There aren't too many people that have defined originality and innovation like Ghostface.

After some light-hearted lyricism on the opening skit, Ghost gets down to business. Beanie Sigel stops by on "Toney Sigel AKA The Barrel... Read review

Advantages: A new albulm from a great group
Disadvantages: none

...Well they've done it again! Rza is a lyrical genius yet again for the wu-tang his hard-hitting intellectual rhymes are affecting our eardrums once again! This latest album from the clan hosts 13 tracks each individual and everyone a great. For those who haven’t heard of the wu-tang (and u may not as they are mainly known in America) they are a massive hip hop group with at least 9 main members. They come together to make wu-tang albums every so often and mostly they make their own albums individually (you may have heard of Rza, Gza, Method Man, Ghostface killah who are all members of the clan). There music is hip hop and is quite different from a lot of the stuff that’s out in the charts today. They do hard rap lyrics but mix it with gentle beats and riffs to make in my opinion the best hip hop sound around today. Flavor Flav who... Read review
